Did you make any goals or set any intentions for the new year? Even if you didn’t formally write down your intentions (although I encourage you to do so—make it easy for the Universe to know exactly what you want!), you most likely have things you want to create, manifest, and experience in 2018.

I’ve certainly had my share of days like that and know how hard it can be to turn it around. Of course, I’ve got my tool box for getting through a funk, but I found a new one that I think you’re going to like! I attended my first Kirtan class last week. The vibrations from our chanting knew no bounds; immense and limitless. With each repetition my body... Continue Reading

Have you ever been curious about how to celebrate the Spring Equinox or even wondered what it is exactly? We’ve got explanations and two different ways that you can celebrate rituals for the Spring Equinox. The coming of Spring is marked by the Equinox – meaning “equal light.” The Spring Equinox, or the first day of Spring, occurs when the sun crosses the celestial equator from South to North.
